back to the bells



Today was the first day back with the kettlebells after a week off!! It felt great to be back at it, but I have to say even in that one week off I've gotten rusty. I didn't cave and start with the lower weights though, I jumped right in with the 35 lb and made it through the session without feeling like I needed to give in. I did use a lower, 25 lb, for the Turkish get ups and rows - but that's normal to switch down for those moves. I can't remember exactly what we did, but it was a great general workout for me getting back to it.

Also, Laurissa is off this week (giving a Kettlebell certification session in Cape Breton) so we had a new trainer - Carly. It must be hard being the 'new trainer' but she did great. Its obvious she knows her stuff and is really keen. She has a no-nonsense style that I LOVE. Her moto is take a break if you need it cause I'm not going to offer it to you! LOL! She'll be fillining all week - that means Kettlebells on Wed and Power Half hour on Friday!

I also had some fun with Brian at physio this morning too! He hooked me up with the stim machine via acupuncture needles in my leg! Wow, it's really odd to watch your foot twitch and turn alllll by itself! Good thing I brought a good book! :) I think one more session on Wed and I might graduate!! Yiiipppee!!

Anyway, I'm feeling good, slight headache - but I'm blaming the barometric pressure for that! We had the most amazing thunder and lightening last night, and they are calling for it again tonight! Hopefully night two wil be enough to break the humidity!
